From the Daily Targum:

The Rutgers Cricket Club team will compete March 17 to 21 against 19 other clubs from all over North America for the right to bring home the Shivnarine Chanderpaul Trophy.

“This is a national tournament, and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for many players,” said Hardik Jogani, club president. “Even though there is no monetary reward for winning the tournament, each player is determined to give their best because we know that this means a lot to us and for cricket.”

Jogani, a School of Engineering sophomore, said the team is not just playing for a victory. They also want to bring some recognition to the game at the University and around the nation.

The team has come a long way since its founding two years ago, when the cricket team had to fight just to become an official club, said Ankit Pandya, co-founder of the club.
